in the scene root, or an object for that matter, create a custom colour get>property>customcolour
You can drag and drop into that. It only stores 1 colour, but you can create as many as you want.
Not ideal but it works.

Hi,

I hope I am missing something obvious, but the docs didn't help me much and I couldn't find a good way to organize my project colors yet...

I find the color pickers in XSI rather tedious and inaccurate (entering RGB 255 values especially - I understand that is because of the conversion to and from float but it's annoying anyway...) when I have to match certain product colors and I miss an obvious way to save colors and access them quickly later on.

In Lighwave, there was a very cool color picker plugin called "Picky" that came with a large selection of nice color presets, doubleclicking a color added it to a project palette (saved with the scene) and another area was showing the last used colors.

So how do you do it?

Is there a way to save a color (and just a color) as a preset that I can drag onto a color chip in XSI?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Thanks,

Thomas Helzle
